			 (172373) ‘—’ = Denotes not available. (1) The database of the ethnic origin of the judiciary is incomplete as candidates are asked to provide the information on a voluntary basis. (2) The black, Asian and minority ethnic figure has been calculated as a percentage of all members of the judiciary. Note: Due to the small numbers caution should be taken when considering changes in proportions over time.

Curriculum

Nicholas Dakin: To ask the Secretary of State for Education pursuant to the answer of 2 September 2013, Official Report, column 69W, on the curriculum, when his Department will have formulated a communications plan for ensuring that schools are aware of the changes to the National Curriculum; and if he will make a statement.

Elizabeth Truss: The Department for Education has a communications plan in place for the reform of the national curriculum. Following its publication, we published a simple and comprehensive guide that has already been viewed over 8,000 times. We are also making information and support available for teachers to help implement the new national curriculum and will continue to do so for the next year, and beyond. For example, we have a series of podcasts in which experts explain to teachers the resources available and how they can help. This can all be viewed on our TES page.(1)

	We are speaking directly to headteachers and teachers at conferences around the country to share the support available and hear from them what they need.
